Valtur wanted to make it convenient for visitors to order food, beverages, clothing, sundries and souvenirs quickly and easily from any location within each of its resorts - on the beach, at a spa or from a specialty kiosk, as well as at shops and restaurants. Valtur's "Shop everywhere" solution - deployed by IBM Global Services - Integrated Technology Services working with IBM Business Partner World System Consulting - is an onsite wireless network activated by a smart card, or badge, embedded with Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology. Data transmission to Valtur's headquarters is via Hughes satellite.
